Abstract

Performance management has attracted much debate in the recent past. It is a systematic effort to improve performance through a continuous process of establishing desired outcomes, setting performance standards to improve performance and productivity, and aims to improve the quality of public service delivery. The political changes after the 90s ëere accompanied by major economic changes, transforming from a centralized to a decentralized economy. During the last tëo decades, the public sector in Albania has experienced a dramatic change, mainly in terms of structure. The main objective of this paper is to evaluate the performance of the public sector.Recognizing good performance, performance management systems in local public institutions have not been able to achieve the expected level of performance that ëill improve productivity. No system moves without motivation and no organization can achieve its objectives without motivating human capital.
